Hi, I am Yee Yan (or Chong or YY)!

A university student in Malaysia, currently studying International Hospitality Management.

I am currently at Barcelona for student exchange this semester.

I love good food (especially pasta and ice cream) and nice people!!

I am still discovering another 88% of my unknown self.

I am a newbie to Couchsurfing! Nice to meet you!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am trying to learn experiencing different culture around the world as a traveler, on top of being a tourist who walk around the city for food and sightseeing. So I am thinking why not join a local who are willing to share with me his/her story while staying at him/her house to not only listen but also experiencing the culture at the same time! (I believe there are many hidden gems only the locals will know!) I am an introvert after all but my personal value is 'change', where i always looking for opportunity to improve myself because, to me, having an extroverted personality is my goal but i also realised that is it very hard for a person to change. Thus, I am here on Couchsurfing for a change!

Interests

Food is always no.1 ! Tea is no.2!

Competitive swimming plays a really important role in my high school life.

Big Bang is also a small part of my life as i loveeeee kpop!

However, i love watching drama (where romance being the genre) and variety shows especially those in Korean).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hike up to Salz welten at Hallstatt, Austria.

Fly on First Glider at First, Grindelwald.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you anything i know such as languages( Malay, Chinese, English, Cantonese, a little bit of Korean and French) and brush lettering...

I am looking forward to learn new languages and of course culture of different places!

I am willing to share with you our Malaysian culture and perhaps food?!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my experience and of course food with the host! I will also try my best to prepare a simple meal. Oh ya as well as some time to hang out perhaps? I will also get our Malaysian local souvenirs there!
